Farmer's Homecoming

Chapter 53

As the weather got colder, the work in the field gradually decreased. People in the village started to play cats and dogs. Most of the adults warmed up by the fire at home. Only some half-grown children in the village would go to the village ditch to pick up ice cubes, or go up the mountain. To collect firewood lumps.

The two who had previously agreed to chop firewood for the family for a year now have to go up the mountain every day, and besides chopping firewood, they also have to collect firewood for the elderly at home.

Seeing her two sons going up the mountain all day, the eldest lady felt uncomfortable, but she had no excuse to ask Chunsheng and Shen Haoyun to help, so she could only talk with guns and sticks every day.

"Oh, you guys are living a happy life. You stretch out your hands to eat and open your mouth. This is no different from the days of the young masters before. Oh, it's so cold, my family Haowen Haowu is really pitiful, God forbid Run up the hill."

The whole family gathered around the fire, Chunsheng, the lady's person, always pretended not to hear, and Shen Haoyun was the same.Seeing that the two of them didn't react at all, the eldest lady became anxious and spoke more plainly.

"Haoyun, you and Chunsheng are young and strong, what's the matter with staying at home all day? You have to go out to work anyway!"

"Sister-in-law, I don't need you to worry about this matter. My family Haoyun has done a lot of things that he should do, and he is not always idle. When he goes up the mountain to work every day, Haowen Haowu sleeps at home every day. What!" In fact, the third wife has always been dissatisfied with the arrangement of the family, she felt that her son had already suffered a big loss!It's such a simple thing to go up the mountain to cut firewood, but the son wants to bring back the money in real money. Why should his son have to support their family!In the past, none of the advantages of the Shen family fell on the son, not to mention that they even asked the son to marry a man back. They had taken advantage of it before, so why should they take advantage of it now!

Although the third wife, Mrs. Huang, has always been resigned to the family's decision, but at that time it was because the boss of the family's property was in control, and the family's wealth depended on the second child who was born in trouble. Now that the Shen family has nothing, they have never taken advantage of the third child. Why should the room listen to the arrangement of the family?

"Aniang, it's okay, Chunsheng and I will go up the mountain tomorrow."

"Yun'er!"

"Auntie, it's okay."

Chunsheng had no objection to going up the mountain in winter, but he didn't want to go up the mountain to help others, but was thinking about hunting.

"Young master, don't worry, there haven't been any large and ferocious wild animals in this back mountain for many years. Even pheasants and hares have to climb over the back mountain to go to the place where we went to pick up walnut fungus. OK."

"I know you're thinking about this, but no matter how small and docile a wild thing is, it won't work without tools. Tomorrow, let's go to the town to buy a handy bow, and then go to the iron shop to shoot a few arrows. Let's talk about it, by the way. You can also go and see how Ayang is doing in town."

"it is good."

Chunsheng is naturally thinking about A Yang, but he is not worried at all, no matter what, his father and the others are much better than the Shen family. good.

The situation was indeed exactly as Chunsheng had imagined. Ayang basically got along with the Liu family without any embarrassment in the face of strangers.

Because of being locked up in the courtyard of the back house for a long time, Ah Yang knows very little about things and the ways of the world.But Liu Aniang didn't let him do it or look down on him because he didn't understand, instead she taught him everything carefully.A Yang himself is also very diligent, and he follows A Niang Liu every day, learning to help with the things in the store.

"Auntie, we're back."

"Sheng'er Haoyun, you are here. Ah Yang is soaking glutinous rice in the back, are you here to see him?" Chunsheng likes to eat glutinous rice balls, and every year the family makes glutinous rice noodles. Regarding the separation of the family, Aniang Liu thought that her son was coming back, so she did a lot.

"Well, mother, let's go in first."

Making glutinous rice ball powder is very simple, just soak the glutinous rice in water for two days, then use a stone mill to grind it into powder, filter it with a quick cloth, and then put it in a dustpan to dry.

When Chunsheng and the others entered, Ayang was pouring water into the bucket, Chunsheng saw him wearing his own clothes, and looked at the empty clothes, only to realize why he used to think that Ayang was younger than him, he was so thin.

"Chunsheng, why are you here?" It's only been a few days since I went back, why are you back again.

"We came here on business, and we also came to see you, to see if you are used to being here."

"Get used to it. My aunt taught me a lot of things, and they all treated me very well. By the way, Xia Sheng was still talking about you last night. Do you want to stay today?" Xia Sheng had to go home after dark every day, but Every time Chunsheng and the others had to rush back, they couldn't wait for Xia Sheng to come back. Xia Sheng might not have seen Chunsheng for a long time, so these days they often think about it.

Chunsheng naturally missed Xia Sheng, and he also wanted to stay at home for one night, so he turned his head to look at Shen Haoyun, after Shen Haoyun nodded, Chunsheng smiled immediately.

"That's great, let Auntie cook more delicious food tonight. The young master and I have something to do. Let's go to work first and come back. In the afternoon, I will go to Xia Sheng's private school to pick him up."

"Okay, let's go."

Shen Haoyun is already very familiar with the town, so he didn't need Chunsheng to take him with him, so he quickly found the blacksmith shop, picked out the bows he needed and sent them matching arrows, which Shen Haoyun didn't expect.

"Boss, give me a set of this one. Is there any one with a weaker grip that can shoot pheasants and hares? Give me a set too."

"Yes, this is ready-made. This set is for the little brother next to you, right? You are brothers, you are really good as a brother. Your brother is not as good as you, so you really need to use this."

"No, he is not my brother, he is my wife, we are husband and wife."

"Young master!" Is this man crazy?

"...cough cough cough, that, huh..." This world...

Shen Haoyun's words not only choked up the owner of the blacksmith shop, but also annoyed Chunsheng next to him. On the way back, Chunsheng kept ignoring him.

Looking at Chunsheng who was walking with his head buried in front of him, Shen Haoyun kept smiling at the corner of his mouth. It turned out that it was not too difficult to say that his wife is a man. I was always ashamed to say something before, but now I feel that if everyone knows Chunsheng As long as his wife is his person.

Later in the afternoon, Chunsheng was going to pick Xia Sheng home, but Shen Haoyun was rejected by Chunsheng when he wanted to follow. When the two brothers came back, Shen Haoyun felt relieved when he saw Chunsheng was smiling all over his face.

Chunsheng has always been a person whose emotions come and go quickly, so he should have forgotten what happened just now.

Today all the members of the Liu family arrived, Aunt Liu was very happy and cooked a large table of dishes, most of which were Chunsheng's favorite.

After the family sat down at the table, everyone was not polite and started to eat directly.Although Xia Sheng is the youngest, he is the one who takes care of others the most. He keeps adding vegetables to Chun Sheng, and the pile of bowls is full of vegetables without stopping.

"Okay, don't let him get caught, anyway, your brother is going home soon, and it's not two months before Chinese New Year, and you will get annoyed seeing him every day by then."

"No way! I just want my brother to be at home every day." Since leaving the Shen family, everyone in the Liu family has been very kind to Xia Sheng, and even Yun Sheng treats him like his own brother, every time he goes out and comes home They would bring him something back, but Xia Sheng was the one who talked about it the most on weekdays.

"It's not been a long time since we saw each other, but Xia Sheng seems to have grown a lot. It's almost reaching my neck now." There was never a moment when I felt that time passed so fast. At that time, Xia Sheng was still a little boy. Although he was seven or eight years old, he was like a three or four-year-old child. Now he is a young man.

"Yeah, Dad said that I will definitely grow up to be as tall as Brother Yunsheng in the future! Brother, I will be as tall as you next year and I will be taller than you the year after." Even though I have grown a lot, I am still a child after all. , Listening to Xia Sheng's words, Chun Sheng just kept smiling cooperatingly, wanting to be more pampered and indulgent, Shen Haoyun next to him was so jealous, how could Chun Sheng treat that kid so well!

After soaking tomorrow's beans at night, the whole family is ready to rest.Usually, Yun Sheng sleeps with Xia Sheng at home, and Ah Yang has his own room. Now that Chun Sheng and Shen Haoyun are staying, there are not enough rooms at home, and they say they are going to sleep, but they don’t know how to arrange the room.

"Haoyun, lay the floor and let Chunsheng share a room with me."

"No! No, I can sleep on the floor, but it's not suitable for Chunsheng to share a room with my uncle. Well, Xia Sheng hasn't seen my brother for a long time, let the two brothers sleep in one room, uncle, you and Brother Yunsheng sleep together room."

"no!"

"Okay, my brother and I... Brother Ayang, why can't you?" Normally, Xia Sheng couldn't be called Brother Ayang, but because Ayang called Aunt Liu Aniang, Xia Sheng took it for granted that he called him brother.

"Oh, it's so cold now, how can you sleep on the floor? Xia Sheng, come and squeeze with us, let Ayang share a room with Yunsheng, your brother and Haoyun share a room, let's all sleep." Some people were dissatisfied, Liu A Niang felt that this was good, and no one would sleep on the floor, so she had no scruples.My son shared the same room with Shen Haoyun in the Shen family, so it is fine to share the same room now, as for Yun Sheng and A Yang, it is fine for them to share the same room like brothers.

"Oh, okay." The wooden bed in the parent's room was huge, and Xia Sheng felt that it could sleep three people, so he simply went there.

What Shen Haoyun was most satisfied with was this decision, and immediately dragged Chunsheng away, and only when he entered the room with Chunsheng did Chunsheng realize that he was still angry!

"Young master, you sleep here and I sleep here."

"Okay." Seeing that Shen Haoyun agreed simply, Chunsheng took off his coat and pants with ease, got into bed at once, and slept in his own room, Chunsheng sighed comfortably.

"Chunsheng, sleep well and I'll turn off the lights."

"Okay." After blowing out the lights in the room, and taking off his clothes in twos and twos, Shen Haoyun also got under the covers in the same way.

"Eldest young master, didn't you agree, you sleep over there!"

"Ah! The room is too dark and I can't see clearly. I thought this was the opposite side."

"Then you go!"

"I'm all asleep, it's too troublesome, let's sleep."
